摘要: 針對5G非授權(quán)頻段通信(NR-U)場景,該文提出一種新型的低時延隨機接入機制。該機制分別在隨機接入回復(fù)窗口(RARW)與競爭窗口中加入了信道空閑計時器,來減少UE因在非授權(quán)頻段進行競爭接入所引起的時延;此外該機制還加入了請求發(fā)送/允許發(fā)送機制,來解決隱藏節(jié)點對隨機接入過程的影響。該機制可降低傳統(tǒng)機制中由于未考慮非授權(quán)頻段特性及隱藏節(jié)點問題所引起的隨機接入時延問題。該文首先對NR-U場景中的傳統(tǒng)隨機接入機制進行分析并進行問題定位;其次,提出新型隨機接入機制的網(wǎng)絡(luò)實體交互流程,建立新型機制與傳統(tǒng)機制中的網(wǎng)絡(luò)實體交互時序模型;最后以數(shù)學(xué)推導(dǎo)和仿真的方法對新型機制與傳統(tǒng)機制進行對比評估,相關(guān)結(jié)果顯示出新型機制在平均耗時方面的優(yōu)勢。

Abstract: For the 5G New Radio in Unlicensed (NR-U) spectrum scenario, a novel random access mechanism is proposed, which first adds the channel idle timer in Random Access Response Window (RARW) and contention resolution window to reduce the accessing delay caused by the contention-based accessing and employs the Request To Send/Clear To Send (RTS /CTS) mechanism to address the hidden node issue. The mechanism can alleviate the latency incurred by the legacy mechanism which did not consider the intrinsic attribute of unlicensed band and the hidden node problem. Specifically, the legacy random access mechanism applied to NR-U is analyzed. Then, the detailed elaboration of the network entity interaction sequence defined in novel mechanism is proposed. Finally, the performance evaluation processes are carried out in the way of mathematical modeling and experimental simulation, and the analysis result demonstrates that the novel scheme outperforms the benchmark one in the respect of the average random access delay. -
